French ATC on strike. Yet again.

They came from far away to our defence. Mostly forgotten in Europe. Should not be. R I P to those brave men and women

Night walk over. 450kms so far since January 1st. Wind dropped, thank heavens. Full Moon. Nice.

Not a good start to the day. Put my tea mug down half on, half off the cork coaster on my bedside table. It fell off, flooding the table, floor - and my pajama trousers. I was enjoying it, too.

Actually Catalans start work early but take a long breakfast break from nine to ten. This leads to the phenomena that if you want to speak to your bank manager or lawyer without his secretary knowing, you must meet him in the cafe where he always takes his breakfast.

I am going mad. Brought a new pc back from England. Trying to get it to work with my Spanish keyboard, but not to communicate with me in Spanish AND dealing with a new version of Windows. I foresee going to Linux Mint tomorrow.

Best wishes from us too.
Many years ago a scan revealed a small cyst on my thyroid gland. I was told to keep an eye on it. I rate this high on my list of useless medical advice.

Morning all. Very cold here in northern Iberia, wind 8, will last all this week.

Woodstove lit, central heating on. House is damned cold compared with UK flat which never goes below 22°.....

Mr Woody, are you on shift here at LHR today ?

Morning all, five ack emma and a glow in the sky. All packed up for the trip home.

Good news, Bob.

Well G-CPTN, these things happen. Myself, having disobeyed instructions and not drinking endless glasses of water all day, am still peeing countless litres all night. Where's it all coming from ? (I know where it's going to).

Tesla, the electric car company owned by Elon Musk, has recalled thousands of its new Cybertrucks over safety concerns. It is because their accelerator pedals currently risk getting trapped by the interior trim, increasing the possibility of crashes. The BBC recently spoke to a whistleblower at the ...

Woody, could not order on-line G&Ts for BA0474 on Sunday. Any chance of smuggling an 02 bottle on board full of Bombay Sapphire ? If so I'll let you know the seat allocation tomorrow.

Belgians are token French who think, and do, the same.

22:48 local: CH-47s at 800' rattle my fillings.
